Hi all:
My Feisty box wouldn't do ALSA; I finally deleted .asoundrc (left in
my home directory from Edgy) and bingo. No more OSS. Hello ALSA.
So it was a problem of an old conf file interfering with me.
I still have one maddening problem from the Feisty install: Sound
Juicer won't play or rip CDs properly. It plays them, and rips them,
but I am hearing what sounds like unconverted raw bitstream --
horrible chirping noise. I am able to play previously-ripped files;
I just can't rip any new ones.
I wonder if this is a similar problem -- an old conf file? Anyway, if
anyone has any ideas, please chime in.
Craig
